Indeed, although I think that this first message is to start engaging
with them. From past experience I know that some people will drop off
once they receive the first message and decide not to reply.

I sent an invite to engage with the staff. I'd like us to start
assigning them to mentors based on what they would like to do. The text
of the email I sent is on the wiki:

I'm sharing the list of current participants (google Sheet) with all the
known mentors. If you want to be a mentor, send me in private your gmail
account.

Let's have a look at the list of students and what they answered when
they signed up.

not every project has low-hanging-fruit tag, I realized while drafting
this guide :( https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/From_zero_to_ATC

Anyway, the second email on
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStack_Upstream_Training/Admin#Email_messages has links to the bugs to pick. 

We'll send that a couple of weeks before the start, end of Aprilearly
May.
